This month’s build contest theme is Arenas. We’re planning on adding some arenas to the survival server that you can bring your own items into and battle other players. Any theme is fine as long as it’s well-built, creative, and fun to play in even after a few battles. Guidelines: Your build doesn’t have to use up the entire area … Read More »

Hey, to those of you who have been participating in our last build contest, we’ve got some bad(ish) news: we’re putting that on hold during the month of December. Another contest will be our focus.

Not just because he’s my favorite … Read More »

Now you can enjoy chatting with fellow players (and maybe listen to some music courtesy of Narwhal) even when you aren’t playing Minecraft. We’ve fine-tuned the server for maximum audio quality and you won’t have trouble with the host’s Internet connection like you might with Skype or other software. Sound good? … Read More »

I am painfully aware of the rumors going around that BlockBox is closing on April 19th. I myself created and for a while believed those … Read More »

Well, here we are. After a long wait, the server is finally updated to 1.7. It might not seem like it, but a lot has changed since the last world reset back in 1.5. Here’s a little graphic I put together to show just how much has happened in the past 7 months: Big thanks the team over … Read More »
